THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Shucks Oyster & Wine Bar Restaurant Review

: Shucks’ chalkboard lists specialty oyster selections of the day, with Gulf oysters always available. Cooked versions include a respectable Rockefeller made with fresh spinach and a light sprinkling of Parmesan. Grilled cheese and other sandwiches are offered, too. We like the rich five-cheese number, but maybe even better is the panini of buffalo mozzarella, basil, fresh tomato and pesto. A plain American grilled cheese (for just five bucks) and a popular jalapeño popper sandwich round out that part of the menu. Each comes with a choice of quite dry pasta salad or coleslaw that's drowning in mayonnaise-based dressing. There also are sliders. Desserts include a Key lime or ice box pie, neither striking us as worth the calories. The wine list, for an establishment that considers itself a wine bar, isn't very frisky.
